Before we left for the hospital we picked out a
couple outfits, his baby books & a BEAUTIFUL baby blue blanket that
has "Little Miracle" on it with angel wings to take with us just in
case...
When we got to the hospital this morning Jayden looked a little better but his numbers are still mixed. His potassium is alot better but two of his kidney numbers (Creatinine & BUN) are still VERY bad & he still has had no output on his own. We have bought him a day or two to give the kidneys a chance to restart but the window of time he has to turn it around is quickly slipping away. An echo of the heart was inconclusive as the vibration from the breathing machine, swelling & intestines pressing on the heart are making it hard to see if the heart is getting good fluid levels in & out. Basically we still don't know.
Jayden's Uncle Jeremy was up for about 3 hours & his odd sense of humor did a great job of getting Alicia & I to laugh and smile some! We are still trying to get family & friends up tonight to visit but we had to come home for a bit as Alicia did not sleep at all last night & after being up over 24 hours straight she is falling asleep sitting up. We will be back up at the end of shift exchange about 8:00 pm if we don't get any calls between now & then.
